RBTA $1. Yeah. one dollar, but there's a catch.

[bad coffee]

I have two or three splits from my RBTA (one may be spoken for.) They're kinda small, and somewhat bleached out. They definitely need some attention to get back to 'rose' color. (see pic below)

I need them out tonight or tomorrow.

Here's the deal. Since I need them out, I'm selling them for a buck, but here's how it's gonna go down.

You paypal me $21, and when you show up to pick up the RBTA, I'll give you back $20 of it.

Here's the catch. It HAS to be picked up tonight between 11:15 PM and 11:15 AM tomorrow. It's pretty much the only time I'm free, so you gotta work with my schedule.

If you don't show up by the assigned time, I'm keeping your $21. Call it a suck-tax, because if you make a deal and then flake on it, you suck. The invoice I'll send you for paypal will say "NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT"

If you're going to show up and pick up the RBTA, then I wouldn't worry about it. You get it for $1 and the time it takes to come get it.


This pic was from the last time they split. They're looking about the same color, just maybe a bit smaller.

Oh, Pickup on the upper east side, (96th st stop on the 6)

That is retarded, so if 25 people send you money for a RBTA and the first 2 people show up, then you just made 23 people waste their time and money on tolls to go there for nothing.

Huh? Why would 25 people end up sending money? He would just stop accepting payment after the first 2-3 people Paypals him.

Just PP'd $101, cause I really suck! :splitspin

hey give the guy a break. he's just trying to raise much needed $ for MR !!! lol!

 

[chinatown]

Because 25 people would send money, And my paypal never asked me to accept money before, it just goes right in.

dude, he's sending an invoice, noone is going to automatically send him $21 and assume they're 1st in line for the RBTA.

This is what you assume. He didn't drop his Paypal addy and tell people to arbitrarily send him money. There's nothing different from this sale from any other ones that occurs here... this one just has a sucker fee. RIF.

I think his method is valid. I've been stood up many times. Time is money.

Brilliant idea.

 

[pmoneyt]

love it badcoffee I got a laugh, since I am free tomorrow i will take you up on that pm me i should be up late.

 

[Wolverine57]

I like that!

 

[Chongpark27]

Good luck with your sale. $1 for a rbta is a good deal. Now thats what i call thinking outside the box, good idea, wish i thought of it.

 

[bad coffee]

All PM's replied to. I think the RBTA's are spoken for.

For your info, If someone sends $21 to paypal, I pay a fee of $.29 + (3% of 21.00)= $.29 + $.63 = $.92 Subtract that from the $21.00, and 20.08 goes into my account.

I'm giving someone an RBTA and a $20 bill cash. So I'm getting paid $.08 for the RBTA, ziplock, and water, plus my time.

I just want to see these guys go to good homes, rather than the trash can. (Yes, I would.)

And Jaa, if you have nothing constructive to add to my thread, GTFO. Option two is to pay a $1000 A-hole tax and stay. Either way, I'm deleting your posts.

Grrrr. The pipeline is getting close to dry. I have an octoberFast in the fermenatrix, and that's for an octoberfest party. Other than that I have 5 full taps and one empty. Time to finish the elec brewery and crank out some beers. Maybe in October I'll have time to brew. . .
